Omega General Help / Re: v6 engine swap

« on: 15 June 2008, 19:11:28 »

I,ve looked down inlet and on the left bank it has snapped at least 4 valves on 2 cylinders.On the right bank every thing looks allright but i,m thinking it can't have done the pistons much good,so i will take heads off to see what mess i'm left with

I have'nt taken the heads off yet,but when i took the spark plugs out 1 plug had it's electrode smashed flat.Would that have damaged the piston

Omega General Help / v6 engine swap

« on: 09 June 2008, 20:28:57 »

My omega 2.5 v6 auto timing belt slipped and smashed the valves to bits so i want to change the engine so,

1.If i swap with another 2.5 will i have to have the ecu's from the same car.

2.Would it be to much hassle fitting a 2.5td motor and what would it involve.

3.After i fit another motor would i have to take it to main dealer to reprogramme anything.

i recently bought a 1999 v omega 2.5 elite auto from auction.It has 85,000 miles on the clock and fsh and as drove it home it started tapping and as it reached an incline it started dying so i gave it more power in kickdown it died.I was on a motorway so managed to get it on the hard shoulder.A little smoke came out of side of bonnet,it woud,nt start.Before temp was normal,no warnings etc.

I took cam cover off and turned key it just turns over, belt turns all cams and crank but sounds like it,s turning over to easily.

In the service pack there was a reciept for belt and tensioners by independent garage at 44,000 miles

Any answers to my problem as the car is immaculate with every luxury working like new
